Chen Mo still had money, but after thinking about it, he decided not to smoke it for the time being.
He hadn't thought about what game he was going to make, and wasn't in a rush to level up his abilities. It was fine as long as it was enough for now, and he could always draw it when he needed it in the future.
After turning off the virtual screen on his bracelet, Chen Mo took notes on his computer as he thought about hiring.
First of all, they would need people in charge of the game's operations. They would be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the existing game, including regular new events, promotions during festivals, and the like. They would also need to gather the opinions and suggestions of the players, provide regular feedback, and so on.
Of course, he needed people in charge of Onmyoji, as Warcraft and Tale of Wuxia were both single player games that didn't require any operations.
Secondly, he needed people in charge of art and music, in charge of the quality of the art, models, cinematics, etc., to compete with the outsourcing company. Chen Mo did all of this himself before, but now he could consider handing it over to someone else.
Finally, he needed to help Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi, and Qian Kun. Large scale games had a lot of story, numbers, and features. Take the story for example. Many RPG games had thousands of quests, and Zheng Hongxi would be exhausted just writing them all by himself.
After that, he needed to hire an assistant to take care of salaries, bonuses, and daily benefits.
Chen Mo thought about it and decided to hire fifteen to twenty people this time.
Then, the location of these people's workplace became a more troublesome problem.
After some thought, Chen Mo decided to rent out the shops next to the experience store at a higher price, renovate them, and have Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi, and the others move there as well.
As for the experience store, he just needed to hire a receptionist.
Chen Mo would consider moving to a bigger experience store after making more popular large scale games.
After making a rough decision, Chen Mo went downstairs and gave the list to Su Jinyu.
"Put up a recruitment notice based on this. Write the specific requirements as high as possible. Make it thirty percent higher than the industry average, with bonuses included. Also, talk to the shops next to us and rent them at a higher price, renovate them, and use them as our new office space. "
Su Jinyu looked at the list, "That many? What about the interviews? "
Chen Mo said, "The three of you will do the interviews first, and I'll do the final one if you think they're up to standard. You can relax a bit on their abilities, but the people have to be reliable. "
Su Jinyu nodded. "Alright, I understand."
It didn't take long for the recruitment notice to be completed. After Su Jinyu had Zheng Hongxi polish it, she gave it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took a look and found no problems, so he posted it on Weibo, including the position, requirements, salary, etc.
Not long after this Weibo post was posted, the netizens began to crazily repost it.
"Damn, Chen Mo is hiring!"
"Thunderbolt Entertainment? The company that gave out 18 months of bonuses after making Onmyoji? "
"F * ck, it's definitely a nouveau riche company. Take a look!"
"The salary is 30% higher than the industry average, and the bonus is calculated separately? Awesome! How rich and overbearing! "
"Daddy! Pick me, pick me! "
"But this requirement is too high. It's ridiculously high!"
"Who cares? I'll submit my resume first."
It didn't take long for this Weibo post to be reposted, and countless people expressed their desire to join.
However, Chen Mo's requirements were quite high. For example, the requirements for the art director were: 5 years or more experience in art, 2 years or more experience in art. Experience with successful games, able to handle multiple art styles, have a deep understanding of most popular games, and have a deep understanding of artistic creativity.
Apart from that, they also needed to submit their resume, relevant works, and do a drawing test based on the questions given during the interview.
Chen Mo's requirements were basically aimed at the top few in the industry. Of course, he could lower his requirements for some of the more talented ones, and all of this could be adjusted.
A large number of resumes were quickly sent to the recruitment inbox. Su Jinyu and the others would first go through them before arranging interviews for those that passed. Of course, they would reimburse them for their travel and accommodation fees.
It wouldn't be possible to hire so many people in such a short period of time, but Chen Mo wasn't in a rush. It would be fine as long as it could be done in a month or two.
He also went to the shops nearby, but most of them weren't willing to rent at a higher price. Chen Mo didn't force them, so he rented a coffee shop that was slightly smaller than the experience store and remodeled it into a new office. He also kept the coffee machine and drinks machine.
Now that the office was settled and people were being hired, Chen Mo wasn't as busy as before. He started thinking about what to do next.
…
One day, Chen Mo's phone rang as he was looking through the private messages sent to him by the players on Weibo.
Chen Mo was shocked to see that it was the head of the Game Committee, Qiao Hua.
Chen Mo was shocked. He had already called back and promised Qiao Hua to be the honorary committee member. It hadn't even been a few days, why was he calling him again?
Chen Mo picked up the phone, "Hello, Head Qiao?"
Qiao Hua laughed, "Chen Mo, the YouTube Games Expo is next month. You're now an A-grade videogame designer, so you can have your own booth at the expo. However, you haven't applied for it yet, so I wanted to ask if you're planning on attending?"
Chen Mo was shocked. Gaming expo?
Chen Mo replied, "I'm not sure about that. I'll definitely attend if there's a booth."
Qiao Hua replied, "Yes, there's definitely a booth. I can arrange it for you right now. But there's still a month left, do you have time to prepare? I heard that you're also busy hiring people. "
Chen Mo replied, "I definitely have time to prepare, don't worry."
Qiao Hua replied, "Alright, I'll arrange a booth for you right now. How about this, I'll give you a call. It's someone from the organizer of the event. Give him a call and he'll talk to you about the details."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo immediately looked up the YouTube Games Expo in this world.
In the parallel world, this expo was a global interactive digital entertainment expo under the direction of the Game Committee.
The expo this time was held in January in Magic City.
The purpose of this exhibition was similar to CJ in his previous life. It was to attract and welcome players, audiences, and industry professionals from both within and outside the country. It was an exhibition for them to interact with each other. Apart from game testing and promotion, there would also be some entertainment such as cosplay performances and so on.
Chen Mo hadn't paid much attention to this before. If it wasn't for Qiao Hua's kind reminder, he would have missed out on this.
It didn't matter if he didn't attend the expo, but there would definitely be benefits to attending. The main thing was to promote his game, get to know some industry professionals, and exchange experiences.
Chen Mo had attended the CJ Expo in his previous life, but that was as a spectator. Now that he could have his own booth to promote his game, he definitely had to go.
